Although Zheng Zhilong lost nearly 100 ships, Zheng Zhilong had many ships, thousands of ships of all kinds, including hundreds of warships, which were far from harming his vitality and could still fight. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If Zhang Feng suffered a great loss and only won a crushing victory, Zheng Zhilong was ready to take revenge and send a large fleet again to fight all the way to Shanghai Port and to Zhang Feng's base. However, Zheng Zhilong's good wishes soon came to naught, like a basin of ice water, poured from head to toe, and even the whole heart was cold.

The person who reported said dejectedly: "General, Zhang Feng is all large warships, their warships are far better than ours, although we have an absolute advantage in numbers, but we have suffered heavy losses, according to the report of the people who came back, none of Zhang Feng's warships were destroyed or sunk, only some of the warships were damaged." ”

What the!

Not a single ship was wrecked or sunk, only part of the ship was damaged!

Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong was furious, and grabbed the collar of the person who reported it, that vision can kill, indicating that Zheng Zhilong is on the verge of rage.

Zheng Zhilong said word by word: "Don't lie about the military situation, otherwise, you will die an ugly death." ”

According to years of experience, if Zheng Zhilong is killed, he will not believe it, there will be such a situation, he has lost so many warships, and not a single warship of the other party has been destroyed, this is impossible.

Zheng Zhilong asked himself if he was a novice, he didn't know how many times he had experienced naval battles, even if he wanted to win, he would have to pay a price, and wherever there was a ship, there was no loss.

The person who reported it was so frightened that he trembled, and said tremblingly: "Will... General, the villain doesn't dare to lie about the military situation, every word is true. ”

Zheng Zhilong stared at the person who reported it, Zheng Zhilong actually knew in his heart that with 10,000 guts, this person would not dare to lie about the military situation, since it was not a lie about the military situation, then the situation was true.

After a long time, Zheng Zhilong let go of this person, as if he was ten years old all of a sudden, and waved his hand dejectedly: "You go down, let me be quiet." ”

The person who reported breathed a sigh of relief, and after retreating, he found that his back was soaked, and he took a long breath quietly, and was about to leave, when he saw a young general, who was walking over and preparing to go in.

This young military general is Zheng Chenggong, the son of Zheng Zhilong, and obviously also learned about the situation, at the beginning, Zheng Zhilong ordered to intercept Zhang Feng's fleet in the Taiwan Strait, Zheng Chenggong was against it, and this time he sent a fleet to fight Zhang Feng, and Zheng Chenggong was also against it.

Seeing that Zheng Chenggong was about to go in, the person who reported hurriedly stopped, "Major General, the general is in a rage, you better wait and go in later." ”

Zheng Chenggong waved his hand and said, "It's okay." ”

After speaking, Zheng Chenggong pushed the door in, only to see that in the hall, Zheng Zhilong's face was ugly, Zheng Chenggong walked over, "Father, our fleet has failed miserably, I have heard about it, the child has a little idea, and wants to talk to his father." ”

Zheng Zhilong waved his hand weakly and said, "Sen'er, say it." ”

Zheng Chenggong said: "Father, according to the child's understanding, Zhang Feng, the chief soldier of Songjiang, is not an ordinary person, not to mention the defeat of the Tartars several times, but also an expedition to North Korea, at present, the whole of Korea is under the control of Zhang Feng, in addition, Zhang Feng trains the navy, this is a new navy, and the general sailor is absolutely different......

Zheng Chenggong carefully explained some of the information he had learned, and finally persuaded: "Father, since we have lost, let's lose, let it become a thing of the past, and it is not too late for us to make friends with Zhang Feng." ”

"Father, the child's opinion is that we admit defeat, I want to go to Songjiang Mansion in person, in addition, in the future, whenever Zhang Feng's fleet passes through the sea area controlled by us, we will not interfere and unconditionally let it go."

After Zheng Chenggong finished speaking, Zheng Zhilong said: "Sen'er, are we defeated like this, my father is unwilling in my heart, I have never been the only one who bullied others, and I have never surrendered to others." ”

Zheng Chenggong smiled and patiently persuaded him: "Father, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, although we have lost so many warships, but we have not hurt our vitality, as long as we no longer have friction with Zhang Feng, I believe we will soon become stronger." ”

After thinking for a long time, Zheng Zhilong sighed and said: "Sen'er, maybe you are right, in the future, it will be the world of your young people, for your father, so let's go to Songjiang Mansion and have a good talk with Zhang Feng once, if Zhang Feng is not too excessive, then we will cooperate with Zhang Feng and not interfere with each other." ”

"Okay, don't worry, father, I'll go to Songjiang Mansion in two days." Zheng Chenggong agreed.

…………

After the end of the sea battle, Zhang Feng returned to Songjiang Mansion, first went to see the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway under construction, the section from Shanghai to Changzhou, this section of more than 100 kilometers of railway has been opened to traffic, from Songjiang Mansion to Changzhou Mansion by train, about a few hours to Changzhou Mansion.

The railway is further ahead, but it has not been opened to traffic for the time being, Zhang Feng took people to see the railway construction site, along the railway construction line, there are a large number of laborers, wearing a unified vest vest, the vest is numbered, easy to manage.

I even saw soldiers with guns not far away, the soldiers were supervising the work, and under the guns of the soldiers, these laborers were honest and working hard.

A middle-aged man wearing a cyan coat and a small melon skin hat walked over quickly and said enthusiastically: "Lord Commander, you are here." ”

Zhang Feng knew this person, who was previously a subordinate of Yang Shenghai, and was still a showman named Hu Zhi, and now he is one of the people in charge of the Shanghai-Nanjing line, responsible for the construction of the railway.

Zhang Fengdao: "How is the construction of the railway? ”

Hu Zhima said: "Your Excellency, the construction of the railway is progressing very quickly, and these laborers are very obedient and hardworking, and I estimate that in another year and a half, the entire railway will be completed and opened to traffic." ”

Zhang Feng said happily: "The speed is so fast, that's a good thing, I've been waiting for the railway to be built, and I want to take the train to Nanjing." ”

Zhang Feng noticed that there are a lot of building materials nearby, such as stone and cement, as well as sleepers and rails, and two new cement factories have been completed and put into operation, one of which is in Changzhou, and the cement produced is also convenient to transport along the railway.

Zhang Feng saw that there were at least hundreds of thousands of laborers working at this section of the railway construction site, and he couldn't help but say: "You have managed these laborers well. ”

After receiving Zhang Feng's praise, Hu Zhi smiled happily, and then said: "Lord Commander, we have stipulated that whoever does a good job will be promoted to squad leader, and the squad leader who performs well will be promoted to squadron leader, and then there is a captain above, twenty or thirty people are a squadron, ten squadrons are a squadron, ten squadrons are a brigade, and at present, there are more than 50,000 laborers, and we have formed twenty brigades......

After listening, Zhang Feng glanced at Hu Zhi approvingly, and thought in his heart, he didn't see that this Hu Zhi was a talent, and such a promotion mechanism was established, so that those laborers could see hope, and it was strange not to work hard.

Zhang Feng said: "Yes, this is good. ”

Accompanied by Hu Zhi, Zhang Feng inspected many sections of the railway under construction, some places were building bridges, some places were building roadbeds, and some places were laying gravel, laying sleepers, laying rails, and so on.

The rails are standard gauges, and the standard rails are used, and the weight of each meter of rail is about 46 kilograms.

Zhang Feng inspected the construction of the railway for a day, and then returned to Songjiang Mansion by train, Zhang Feng can realize the enjoyment and convenience brought by transportation, and I believe that other people are the same.

Transportation can promote economic development, can promote exchanges, the benefits of nature needless to say, Zhang Feng hopes that the Shanghai-Nanjing line will be completed and opened to traffic as soon as possible, and then to experience the feeling of taking a train from Songjiang Mansion to Nanjing.

General Headquarters, Hall.

Soon after Zhang Feng came back, he saw Wang Chaoyong's face happy, and he walked in in a hurry, Zhang Feng couldn't help but joke: "Chief of General Staff Wang, did you pick up the silver on the road?" ”

Wang Chaoyong said: "Commander-in-chief, where can I compare to our breech-loading artillery when I pick up silver, I have been staying in the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau for the past few days, and I have been watching the development of our artillery." ”

In the past 10 days, Zhang Feng was first busy with naval battles, and then went to see the construction of the Shanghai-Nanjing line, and before he had time to go to the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau to take a look, Zhang Feng planned to go to the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau in two days to see the development of breech-loading artillery and the development of Song Yingxing's smokeless gunpowder.

Seeing that Wang Chaoyong had been staying in the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau for several days, he couldn't help but smile and asked, "Chief of General Staff Wang, how is the progress of our artillery development?" ”

Wang Chaoyong was about to talk about this matter, as soon as Zhang Feng asked, he immediately poured beans into a bamboo tube and said, "Commander-in-chief, the development of our breech loading artillery is going well, the main parts have been manufactured, I heard Lao Zhao say, in about half a month, all the parts can be manufactured, and the assembly of the first breech-loading gun can be completed within a month, and then the gun can be tested." ”

Zhang Feng nodded, this is basically no different from Zhang Feng's estimate, and the gun will be tested in about a month, and after repeated trials and verifications, the breech-loading gun can be officially produced.

Zhang Feng even wondered whether to set up a special artillery factory, integrating research and development, and specializing in the production and manufacture of various types of artillery, including artillery for the army, naval guns, and so on.

As soon as Zhang Feng said his idea, Wang Chaoyong immediately clapped his hands in agreement, and suggested: "Lord General Soldier, choose a site to build a special artillery factory next to the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, the newly built factory is close to the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, and it is not far from the Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant, and many resources can be comprehensively utilized. ”

Zhang Feng decided: "Then it's decided, I will immediately send someone to select the site and find someone to be responsible for the construction of the artillery factory." ”

Zhang Feng never dragged his feet in doing things, and he had certain ideas, so he arranged the construction of the artillery factory on the same day, and chose not far from the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau to build a special artillery factory.
